Since its initial appearance in early July, my ability to contribute to
the expansion of The
Valcour Bay Research Project on the Web has suffered. Speaking
engagements and the continuation of the survey have demanded a great deal
of time. The 2001 survey year has brought many new successes. I hope to
be sharing those successes and the remainder of the project with you
shortly. The story of the New York
and the death of Lt. Thomas Rogers can be accessed through our links to
Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s website.
One thing that can’t be delayed any further, is
the long-overdue “thank you” to the men and women who serve our United
States Coast Guard at its Burlington, Vermont station.
Besides tirelessly guarding the surface and shores of Lake Champlain and
making them safe for all who enjoy them, the U.S.C.G. also played an
instrumental role in the recovery of the
New York’s
cannon on June 30th. The members of the Valcour Bay Research
Project would like to thank the following U.S.C.G. members: BM1 Kevin
Erwin, MK1 Ed Anderson, BM1 Robert Wooten, SN Denny Doyle, SA Duane Lam,
BMCS James R. Stuedle, BM3 Stephanie Jurczak, FN Jamish Vega and DCCS
Joe Allard.
